AToday is my 22nd day of Our New Lifestyle. My husband and I started this thing were we would start eating healthier and better. It has had it ups and downs. With the temptations of doughnuts when we go to the store and pop. Yes I called it pop.
I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago and there we call it pop. I have had this argument with my husband. He calls it coke and I call it pop.
Anyways, where was I? Oh yes, I was telling you about Our New Lifestyle. I work in a fast food restaurant. It is so hard for me to not eat the food there. All the greasy burgers and french fries I can eat. Oh my!!
When we started this New Lifestyle we stopped drinking pop. Well that is what we told each other. But somewhere down the line we started drinking it again. We were drinking caffeine free diet root beer. I manly bought for my husband. I might have only had a couple of glasses. I didn’t drink that much of the stuff.
I did start eating salads at work. We have these berry salads that are so good. I could eat those everyday. So, I did for a while. Then I kind of got sick of eating salads for lunch everyday and started eating a wrap with my salad. I started eating 2 wraps and not eating the salads.
When is this going to stop? When I tell myself no. That’s right I said it. I have to tell myself no. I’m the kind of gal that when I get something stuck in my head I have to do it until I get it right. If I want something I’m going to get it.
Well I want to get rid of all this extra weight. I don’t like being this way. Plus I have asthma so that doesn’t help it at all. I don’t like how I look when I look in the mirror. I’m going to do this for me.
I sometimes think I am a dummy. I start something and then I finish it when I get tired of doing it. I wanted to lose a lot of weight by the time this year was over. I haven’t lost any weight. I got lazy.
At the beginning of the year I started working out on my stationary bike. I would go 10 miles a day. Then I upped it to 15-20 miles a day. By the end of January I did 242 miles on my bike. I was so excited that I did that many. I was jumping for joy. I wanted to put up a picture of me when I was a teenager, at the weight I want to be so, I could get the motivation that I needed to keep going. But I didn’t.
Then February came and I only did 45 miles. I got lazy. I’m not sure if it was because we were talking about moving my mom here from Illinois. I was stressed. I was working a lot.
When March got here I did 53 miles. I had given up. Or was it the fact that I had my mom living with me and driving me crazy. It was so hard to go to work and take care of her. I had the help of my loving husband who stayed home all day to take care of her when I was working. I love him so much for doing that. Thank you honey. I appreciate you so much.
In April I walked 5.5 miles. It was getting nicer out. I thought I could do a little walking here and there but once again I was lazy.
May, June, and July came and went. I sat on my ass doing nothing the whole time. I might have taken the kids to the park or sat on the front steps. Other than that I did nothing.
Plus we moved in May. That was a workout in and of itself. I hate moving boxes up the stairs and down the stairs. In the van out of the van. I was wore out from taking the boxes in the house that I didn’t want to unpack them.
My goal is this. I promise you that I will not eat any greasy fatty food anymore. Not until I am at the weight I want to be. I have to start eating healthier for me and no one else. I would love to move to the Florida Keys looking great in a bikini. To be able to run after my kids without having to stop to catch my breath every few minutes.
I’m going to post on here what I eat everyday no matter if it is good for me or not. Hopefully it is good for me. I will not lie to you about what I ate. I will tell you my feeling about my day and what happened. If I had to eat some unhealthy food and why.
My goal is to get to be 130 pounds. I have 83 pounds to lose. I want you guys to be there for me when I do it. I want to show you that I can do it. I know there are some people out there that think I can’t do it. You know what I have to say about that. FUCK YOU!! I will do it and I will prove to you that I can.
I also would like to put up some before and after pictures. Something like that would be nice. For you all to see me slimming down. That would be nice for me to see as well.
Thanks so much for taking the time to read my blog. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed writing it. Have a great day and please tell me know what you think. Thanks. Bye.
Yesterday I went walking around town with my girls and we walked 2.1 miles. It felt great to go walking. i wanted to do it again today but like I said before I hurt my back. I laid around the house all day.
